Flexeril and Trental drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hydrochloride) and Trental (pentoxifylline). Common drug interactions include arterial stenosis among females and fall among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Flexeril and Trental. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 38 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
